Butadiene, also known as 1, 3-butadiene, is a non-corrosive, colorless, and aromatic gas that can be condensed to a liquid form at a certain temperature. Synthetic butadiene is produced by petroleum refining of crude oil. Steam cracking of hydrocarbons, dehydrogenation of butane, and dehydration of ethanol are the conventional methods of butadiene production. Butadiene can also be prepared from renewable biomass feedstock.

Butadiene is largely employed in rubber applications. It is primarily used as chemical intermediate and monomer to produce polymers such as elastomers including SBR, PBR, and NBR. Various types of rubber manufactured by incorporating butadiene as a key intermediate include styrene-butadiene latex, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polybutadiene, and adiponitrile.

Based on end-use, the PBR segment held major share of the global synthetic and biobased butadiene market in 2017. This trend is likely to continue throughout the forecast period. SBR is a significant end-use segment of the global synthetic and biobased butadiene market. Synthetic and biobased butadiene are used as raw materials in the manufacture of SBR, synthetic butadiene latex, adiponitrile, and ABS. In terms of consumption, the automotive industry accounts for key share of the synthetic and biobased butadiene market. SBR, PBR, and ABS are used in the automotive industry for the production of tires and lightweight vehicles. In terms of volume, the PBR segment stood at 3,782.7 kilo tons in 2017. In terms of consumption, the biobased product type segment was highly attractive in 2017, due to the extensive demand to manufacture green tires.
